Weather-normalized retail electric deliveries decreased 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 relative to 2011, reflecting decreases in deliveries to residential and large commercial & industrial customers, partially offset by increases in deliveries to small commercial & industrial customers. For ComEd, weather had a favorable after-tax effect of $1 million on fourth quarter 2012 earnings relative to 2011 and an unfavorable after-tax effect of $4 million relative to normal weather.

PECO’s Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $7 million from the same quarter in 2011, reflecting the impact of favorable weather and lower income taxes primarily due to gas tax repairs deduction; these favorable items were partially offset by higher storm costs from Sandy.
